About Us

Founded in 2002 by accessories designer Deanna Eller-Goodin, Elysian Falls specializes in custom designed accessories for the bride and her attendants.  As an intern for a bridal designer in Nashville, Deanna designed garters to be shipped to salons such as Kleinfeld’s and Montaldo’s in New York.  When her designs were well received, she was hooked by the bridal business.  Upon graduating with a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising, she explored other opportunities but never lost her love of designing and continued to do so for friends’ weddings.

Now inspired by history, film and fashion, Deanna's vision has evolved into her state of bliss – Elysian Falls.  "I've found that I'm happiest when I'm  creating…taking small pieces that I find beautiful in themselves and incorporating them into a whole.  What emerges is stored honey from within.  I enjoy custom work because it's all about granting wishes - to see the look on my client's face when she sees the finished piece is priceless!"  

From her studio in the Nashville area, Deanna designs ring pillows, jewelry, handbags and veils as well as her signature garters. She hand selects each component, many of which are found in her travels. “I'm always in search of buried gems- found within my soul as I design, or in a fabric store in some far off place.  Either way, I come away with something rare and surprisingly useful.”

Deanna lives in Spring Hill, Tennessee with husband Brad and Sedona, their American Cocker Spaniel.
